Starlink is a satellite-based internet connection that uses thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The network provides fast, low-latency internet connectivity directly from space without dependence on terrestrial mobile or fixed networks.

Starlink’s satellite network consists of thousands of satellites that share the load between them. This enables high capacity and scalability for organisational use. Priority data service plans for businesses ensure that the connection performs reliably even during periods of congestion.

Starlink B2B solutions are particularly suitable for energy and water utilities, telecom and network operators, retail logistics, critical public-sector sites, mobile units and temporary operations. The solution can serve as a backup connection, a primary connection or part of a broader connectivity architecture.

Starlink is used globally in areas such as public authority operations, crisis management, infrastructure maintenance and disaster situations. Satellite connectivity operates independently of local network infrastructure, making it a valuable resilience solution.

Starlink operates independently of terrestrial infrastructure, as the connection is established directly with satellites. This makes Starlink particularly well suited as a backup connection for situations where mobile or fixed networks are disrupted. Satellite connectivity enables data transfer, situational awareness and operational management even during widespread disruptions.

Yes. To operate, Starlink only requires power for the terminal device. When the system is combined with Voimatel’s backup power or energy storage solution, the connection can be kept operational even during power outages.

NOTE: The devices have an operating voltage of 12–48 V (56 V), and they operate with backup power supplies, batteries, backup power or even a vehicle’s 12 V socket (Mini).

Starlink typically provides download speeds of tens or even hundreds of megabits per second, with significantly lower latency than traditional satellite connections. As the devices and network continue to develop, speeds will continue to increase, and Starlink has stated that it aims to achieve download speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s with P3 terminals in 2026.

At many sites, Starlink works well as the primary connection. In resilience solutions, however, it is often used as a backup connection or as part of a broader connectivity architecture that increases network operational reliability.

Yes. Starlink’s satellite network enables internet connectivity even in areas that fixed or mobile networks do not reach, or where their performance is uncertain.

Starlink is designed to operate in a range of weather conditions, including rain, snow and freezing temperatures. The antennas are equipped with features such as heating functions that melt snow and prevent it from accumulating on the equipment.

Starlink is based on a distributed network of thousands of satellites, making it highly resilient. A disruption affecting a single satellite or terrestrial node does not usually disconnect the connection, as it automatically switches to the next satellite.

The equipment can be installed and deployed quickly. Voimatel provides planning, installation and commissioning services that enable the solution to be integrated into the organisation’s resilience planning.

Yes. Starlink can be integrated into an organisation’s network, for example as a backup connection or as part of a broader connectivity architecture.
